Di Marzio's latest report reveals an intricate transfer story line: Manchester City captain Kyle Walker's potential move to AC Milan appears to be closely tied to the departure or retention of team defender Tomori. Although the Milan side has already conducted an in-depth study of Walker's situation, it seems that his joining the club is directly dependent on Tomori's departure.
Looking back, Tomori was considered a favorite to leave the club during Paolo Fonseca's tenure, with Juventus even offering €20 million for him. But after Conceição took over, the situation was dramatically reversed, with Tomori not only returning to the starting lineup, but also becoming a key figure in Milan's future blueprint.
This shift brings new variables to Milan's backline. How will Milan's defense strategy be adjusted in the next few days? Will Tomori continue to play for the team? These questions will not only attract the attention of the fans, but will also be the focus of the media. These changes will undoubtedly have a profound impact on Walker's transfer negotiations.
If Walker joins, it will undoubtedly enhance Milan's overall strength and depth. As the captain of Manchester City, Walker has rich experience in the EPL and excellent defense, and his arrival will inject new life into Milan's backline. However, if Tomori stays in the team and maintains his position as a starter, Milan's options in the backline will be more diverse, which may also have a subtle impact on Walker's transfer.
